Actas Matvi 2008 I JORNADAS DE ALUMNOS DE INFORMÁTICA SOBRE JUEGOS: MATEMÁTICA RECREATIVA E IMPLEMENTACIÓN DE VIDEOJUEGOS (MATVI 2008) Proyecto de innovación Educativa PIE07-084 subvencionado por el Servicio de innovación Educativa y el Servicio de Enseñanza Virtual y Laboratorio Tecnológicos de la Universidad de Málaga. PRESENTACIÓN Este volumen recoge los resúmenes de los trabajos presentados por los alumnos que han cursado las asignaturas Implementación y creación de videojuegos y matemática recreativa durante el curso 2007-08 (primer cuatrimestre). Los trabajos completos, junto a material adicional, han sido incluidos en un CD que acompañan a este volumen. Las Jornadas han sido preparadas bajo las directrices marcadas en el proyecto de innovación Educativa PIE07-084 subvencionado por el Servicio de innovación Educativa y el Servicio de Enseñanza Virtual y Laboratorio Tecnológicos de la Universidad de Málaga. La finalidad de este volumen es la de ser considerado como las actas de las I JORNADAS DE ALUMNOS DE INFORMÁTICA SOBRE JUEGOS: MATEMÁTICA RECREATIVA E IMPLEMENTACIÓN E VIDEOJUEGOS (MATVI 2008) organizada este año 2008 por primera vez en Málaga. La idea de organizar estas Jornadas surge con el fin de experimentar con métodos docentes alternativos a los clásicos impuestos en la enseñanza universitaria y con el objetivo de acercar la docencia a lo que se espera de la implantación del espacio europeo de educación superior en la Universidad de Málaga. Estas I jornadas han tenido un objetivo fundamental, el de establecer un marco adecuado de reunión, debate y divulgación para los alumnos de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería en Informática (ETSII) sobre temas relacionados con la implementación y creación de videojuegos, y con la matemática recreativa. Estas dos áreas de investigación se encuentran continuamente en desarrollo, y están de alguna forma relacionadas: por una parte, el desarrollo de videojuegos demanda cada vez más un conocimiento profundo de ciencias que modelan fenómenos naturales, como la Matemática y la Física; por otra parte, si el objetivo máximo de un videojuego es el entretenimiento del jugador, podemos encontrar un área de las Matemáticas, concretamente el de la Matemática Recreativa, que se concentra en la obtención de resultados acerca de actividades lúdicas, o bien de resultar entretenida en su práctica. Con la organización de este evento se ha pretendido fomentar tanto el intercambio de experiencias y resultados como la comunicación y cooperación entre alumnos que estén matriculados en las asignaturas Implementación y creación de videojuegos y Matemática recreativa . Esperamos que los alumnos participantes en estas Jornadas no sólo adquirirán los conocimientos propios de la asignatura en la que estén matriculados, sino que además van a trabajar una serie de conocimientos transversales (lo cual está específicamente indicado en las líneas de la implantación del EEES) que no son directamente enseñadas en ninguna de las asignaturas de la carrera que cursan; en concreto nos referimos a que cada alumno (1) tendrá un contacto directo con los contenidos de otra asignatura (sin la presión de tener que aprobar ésta), (2) adquirirá también el conocimiento sobre cómo funciona, parcialmente, el mecanismo de la investigación, ya que estará directamente involucrado en todas las fases que se requieren para la difusión de los resultados en un congreso científic o (lo cual no es enseñado tampoco del contenido curricular del ingeniero en informática), y (3) desarrollará capacidades personales adicionales que surgen de la experiencia de redactar documentos en formato científico con un rigor académico bajo la imposición de unas reglas estrictas de formato y de unas fechas límites que marcarán el ritmo de cada fase del Congreso, y finalmente de la exposición en público (no necesariamente los compañeros del grupo) de su trabajo, el cual posteriormente serán analizado por los asistentes al Congreso y discutido en público. Desde nuestro punto de vista, la experiencia realizada ha sido altamente gratificante pues hemos estado en permanente contacto con los alumnos, estableciendo una comunicación fluida. El resultado han sido unos trabajos de excelente calidad que dan una medida del alto nivel exhibido por nuestros alumnos en la asignatura. Enhorabuena a ellos ¡ Nos gustaría agradecer asimismo a todos aquellas personas que han hecho posible, de una forma u otra la ejecución de las Jornadas. Entre estas personas podemos citar a los alumnos, a los asistentes a las Jornadas, al Director de la Escuela José María Troya y al subdirector de Ordenación Académica Ernesto Pimentel. Las Jornadas son un evento de puertas abiertas y os damos la bienvenida a todos, deseando que este evento enriquezca especialmente a los alumnos y que les deje un grato recuerdo de su paso por la carrera.

  • Page 22 Survival Horrality: Analysis of a Videogame Genre (1) Ewan
    Page 22 Survival Horrality: Analysis of a Videogame Genre (1) Ewan Kirkland Introduction The title of this article is drawn from Philip Brophy’s 1983 essay which coins the neologism ‘horrality’, a merging of horror, textuality, morality and hilarity. Like Brophy’s original did of 1980s horror cinema, this article examines characteristics of survival horror videogames, seeking to illustrate the relationship between ‘new’ (media) horror and ‘old’ (media) horror. Brophy’s term structures this investigation around key issues and aspects of survival horror videogames. Horror relates to generic parallels with similarly­labelled film and literature, including gothic fiction, American horror cinema and traditional Japanese culture. Textuality examines the aesthetic qualities of survival horror, including the games’ use of narrative, their visual design and structuring of virtual spaces. Morality explores the genre’s ideological characteristics, the nature of survival horror violence, the familial politics of these texts, and their reflection on issues of institutional and bodily control. Hilarity refers to moments of humour and self reflexivity, leading to consideration of survival horror’s preoccupation with issues of vision, identification, and the nature of the videogame medium. ‘Survival horror’ as a game category is unusual for its prominence within videogame scholarship. Indicative of the amorphous nature of popular genres, Aphra Kerr notes: ‘game genres are poorly defined and evolve as new technologies and fashions emerge’;(2) an observation which applied as much to videogame academia as to the videogame industry. Within studies of the medium, various game types are commonly listed. These might include the shoot­‘em­up, the racing game, the platform game, the God game, the real­time strategy game, and the puzzle game,(3) the simulation, role­playing, fighting/action, sports, traditional and ‘”edutainment”’ game,(4) or action, adventure, strategy and ‘process­orientated’ games.(5) These clusters of game types tend to be broad, commonsensical, and under­theorized.

CLARE, Université Bordeaux Montaigne Résumé. Cette étude examine, à travers un corpus de jeux vidéo horrifiques développés en France sur une période de près de 25 ans, comment le renouvellement des iconographies et la relecture des codes narratifs, tout comme celui des mécaniques de jeu qui y sont habituellement employées, constituent rarement le cœur de des propositions vidéoludiques françaises. Néanmoins, nous montrons comment ces créations ont bien souvent pour point commun de mettre en perspective les procédés de mise en image qu’ils déploient, de la mise en scène au mode de modélisation adopté en passant par la question du flux des images et du regard. Il s’agit donc de voir comment l’horreur, devenue terrain de jeu avec l’image, semble être un prétexte idéal pour travailler, explorer, manipuler le médium et, ainsi, faire évoluer le média.

  • Ka As Shomin-Geki: Problematizing Videogame Studies William Huber 34 Rausch Street 401 San Francisco, CA 94103 USA +1 415 861 5863 [email protected]
    Ka as shomin-geki: Problematizing videogame studies William Huber 34 Rausch Street 401 San Francisco, CA 94103 USA +1 415 861 5863 [email protected] ABSTRACT The paper addresses limitations of strictly interactive theories of videogame genre, proposes a supplementary, historicist inter-media alternative, and interprets the videogame Ka as a ludic worked based in the shomin-geki tradition of Japanese cinema. Keywords Japanese cultural history, videogame genre theory, shomin-geki, domesticity, intertextuality Rather than looking at videogames in general, this paper examines one game in particular as a cultural artifact: Ka, produced in Japan in 2001, and later released in the US and Europe as Mister Mosquito. By bringing a historicist sensibility to the study of individual games in the aftermath of the initial ludology/narratology formalist discussions, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a way to access videogames as texts in ways that recognize their inherent, media-specific structure as videogames, yet also explore their inevitable intertextualities. To begin with, I look at some general aspects of genre theory as they affect the study of games. I then turn to the game itself, breaking out the structure in a table of interactive and narrative events. An explanation of the shomin-geki comedy drama follows, with attention to how the texts of that genre react to historical changes in the discursive field it tracks, ultimately to include Ka in its concern with the ongoing construction of domesticity in Japan. By tracking genre-formation to historical anxieties within cultural practice, and seeing game-texts as participants in intertextual, thematic genres, we can better understand how they generate discursive positions within gameplay.

Simultaneously, the dimensional top-down perspectives, to fully three cybernetic interaction between player and machine, dimensional figures realised with complex texturing and whereby the digital figure appears to act with autonomy and lighting effects. In this respect the avatar has increasingly agency, unsettles the boundaries between dead object and assumed qualities of the uncanny in its close visual, living person.

  • User Profiling on the Basis of Interactions with a Computer Game
    FACULTY OF COMPUTING, ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY USER PROFILING ON THE BASIS OF INTERACTIONS WITH A COMPUTER GAME SIMON BILLINGS JANUARY 2013 Adapting computer software to the individual user during run-time could offer substantial advantages over the current practice of tailoring software to groups of users during the development process (Stewart 2007; Charles et al. 2005; Charles & Black 2004; Houlette 2004). In order to achieve this, the computer requires information about the user, yet its ability to perceive them is severely limited (Suchman 2006 p.167; Fisher 2001). In an effort to address this shortcoming, this dissertation examines the potential for determining an individual’s personality through analysis of their interactions with commercial computer games – which, in common with cinema and literature, work on an underlying model of reality – as well as their performance in game elements using an underlying general intelligence factor, and their emotional state from visual and physiological cues. Through a program of original primary research, it demonstrates that data pertaining to several of the big five personality factors can be captured from interactions with a commercial computer game, and explores methods for predicting these personality traits using regression analysis and clustering techniques. It also employs a series of factor analyses to investigate the latent variables present in interactions with a computer role-playing game, as a foundation for further work.
